From Us To You
Uppsala is a City in Sweden, located 45 miles (71 km) north of Stockholm. It is known for its university, the oldest university in Scandinavia. To Swedes, they might see the city as the center of Sweden or simply as the 4th largest city in the nation. But to me and Chris, the city means… Continue reading Where It All Began Pt.1
Originally thought of as a small add on to the regular show, Ripe Apples is a one of a kind, new show, and it’s all about reviews. What does it take for a movie to be great? How should a movie be scored and graded? Honestly, we don’t know (we literally have no idea and… Continue reading Ripe Apples
With the new year upon us, it would be ridiculous if I didn't make aresolution. Yes, I know that most everyone makes one and almost none of themever come to life. But, maybe it's time for that to change. The guys and I had quite a 2019. To say it was incredible is an understatement.… Continue reading 2020 Vision
Top, left to right: Ryan, Piroozi, Chris, John, MillerBottom, left to right: Cody, Grant One year ago today I sat alone at Arlanda Airport in Stockholm. I had just said goodbye to my parents. I had hosted a going away party the week before. I had sorted out so I had all my books and… Continue reading The Greatest Decision I’ve Ever Made
The 11th of August marked a day I dread every year. Every year I try to not get emotionally involved, I try not to care and I try to now watch the events that occur during the following 9 months. Yet every year I sit and watch. Whatever day of the week it is and… Continue reading Why Do I Keep Doing This?
Six years ago I met one hell of a person. I was going to my first festival, and when I got there, my dad informed that one of his colleague's brother was going to be attending. I did call him, but I thought HE was the one working with my father. When I said my… Continue reading Happy Birthday Stefan!
Like most people, I hate traffic. I am a hyper aggressive driver, but I follow the laws and never drive recklessly (I promise!). Driving in and around Chicago is a nightmare; there is constantly construction, which means traffic. Exits are closed and people are never proactive about the ‘lane closure signs,’ so as one could… Continue reading How we rage
What’s one thing every foreigner does when they’re in America? They pig out, and eat fast food. We will eat everything in sight because we never know when we’ll see these fast food chains again. Spending a semester in America has therefore made me a qualified fast food critic. I will rank each chain from… Continue reading Unbiased American fast food ranking
You know that face one makes when their jaw drops out of utter disbelief? When they see the most moronic or crazy thing, they can’t stop themselves from making that puzzled expression? Well earlier this week, I had one of those moments. I was hanging with some friends and one friend, who is a pescatarian,… Continue reading Does food control us?
Since starting my studies at Uppsala University, I’ve often struggled finding motivation. For the years leading up to my studies, my motivation was to get accepted into Uppsala. After that goal was accomplished, I didn’t know what I wanted in life and what my motivation was. I searched far and wide for answers. I would… Continue reading What motivates me?
Since 2015, I have been working at a security company in Stockholm during the summer. This summer, I returned to the company and it will be my last summer there. In previous years, I’ve usually worked with people with similar situations as me: students who are looking to make some money to aid their studies… Continue reading The age gap
At first, I thought I was hearing things. I sat at my desk silently, waiting for the sound to come again. After no results, I focused my attention back to my monitor. Just as I started to type, I heard this clicking sound again. Knowing I wasn’t crazy, I peered over my screen to two… Continue reading What doesn’t work at work
Six months later and Chicago finally feels like home. Don’t get me wrong, nothing will ever be able to replace the warmth that I feel when back in my hometown, Francesville. Light pollution doesn’t exist there, so as long as the nights aren’t cloudy, the sky is always luminous. Once, before my sophomore at Purdue,… Continue reading A new home, Adulting
Swedes are a group of people that heavily rely on their principals. We try and not make ourselves too much of a nuisance in public, we try to stay neutral in arguments and, most importantly, we despise criminal activity. However, all three of these principal rules were broken not long ago by a young man… Continue reading ASAP Rocky, The Sweden /America criminal exchange
